Default BRAKE LEVER

That's what I need after dropping my bike at the petrol station last night . If there is anyone that lives close enough to me to be able to bring it round, if they have one Cash waiting. Thanks.

What happened? Did you slip on some diesel?

Bad luck Si
How did you drop it
I've always been suspicious of patches of diesel around some pumps I stop at

Yup. Stopped at the pump, did the usual thing and fill up whilst still sat on the bike. After I finished I paddled the bike forward a bit so that the car behind could get to the pump. This left me in between the two pumps. As I pushed with the right foot to lean the bike left onto the side stand, my foot slipped on the floor, due to the water, petrol, diesel mix on the floor. Bike tipped over and ended up leaning on the plastic bins that they have there.

Bike was unmarked apart from the brake lever snapping clean off. I guess that's what happens when you buy cheap replica levers

Just seen this. Sorry to hear of the mishap, glad it was just a lever. I'm always reporting diesel spills on garage forecourts to the staff (who generally can't be arsed to do anything about it). At least you didn't mark your paintwork .

Funny thing happened today....................

After paying twice the price for the brake lever just so that it would be delivered the very next day...............it didn't f*g arrive.

Busters, useless TW*s.

Phone call tomorrow morning me thinks. At this rate I won't have a lever for Friday.......Then I WILL BE SERIOUSLY P*ED OFF.
